0:00And AI is exposing everyone. one government's being exposed celebrities are being exposed everyone's being exposed i'm gonna say you know i'm just going to be true about everything here's what's going on at an affair um i'm an i'm an addict i lost all my money i was a horrible businessman we built an app in a system that now serves over 65 000 guys in the genre that's the number of paid students in our programs the impact has been incredible completely transformed my life

0:30ladies and gentlemen welcome to a special edition of the money mondays i am very excited about this guest because i've been watching him for years i've got to be a decade now watching him build up and kind of pioneer coaching mastermind teaching and truly changing boys into men and men into greater men and so it's been really exciting for me to watch his career and then to have him here inside of the RV Motorhome, right outside of the ranch. We just fed over 200 animals, so he was helping me feed the boss hog, camels, zebras, and everything in between. So without further ado, we're going to do the quick two-minute bio of Mr.

1:06Garrett J. White, and then we're going to get straight to the money. I love that you nailed the J. People leave the J out. J. was part of my rebirth, from Garrett White the banker to Garrett J. White the movement maker. So I'm the founder of Wake Up Warrior. I'm also co-founder of DKW Styling in the Hair Industry, but my passion project has been for 12 years since 2012. After losing everything in banking from 2000, 2008, my real estate empire, everything was gone. I walked the pit for four years, had an affair, addictions, and found myself at the bottom of a pit really listening to God for the first time.

1:36And he said, I have this thing I want you to do. Turn on a camera and go. So in 2012, we launched Wake Up Warrior. We built an app and a system that now serves over 65 ,000 guys in the genre. That's the number of students we've affected in the last 12, 10 years, paid students in our programs, not people who watch our social media. and we got crowned in 2017 by the new york times the new york post as the initiators of the industry of masculinity we started selling personal development programs to businessmen who were married with kids these were guys that did not buy these programs they did not buy personal development they were not in the the coaching world syndicate they didn't go to masterminds they didn't go to tony's events they didn't go anybody they were fresh guys and we created a methodology for them to have it all which is how do i make more money how do i have more sex two most important things for guys paid and laid that's just not happened nothing else matters but i also had to get them jacked connected to god still be great fathers and that's a really big challenge i knew so many guys had built big big big businesses but they couldn't keep their family together they couldn't keep their marriage together couldn't keep their kids together where they felt total lack of purpose and were just whores for money and we figured out a way to put it all together i have so many questions we go bro i mean first i'm i don't know if it's in my ears you said 65 ,000 yeah men 65 ,000 guys in the last 12 years it's been amazing we realize the butterfly effect of that of changing those lives they're the only sense i get i'll have moments with god where he's like you don't you like i'll be like i feel like we haven't even fucking done anything he's like you don't see yeah the ripple yeah like of the 26 largest men's movements more than half of them were my students these raw guys were either inspired by wake up warrior or direct students of mine to wake up where they also felt called to go lead men and now we have 250 trainers full-time doing that building businesses to go serve men right so i have no idea what the impact is but it comes in in hundreds every week of emails the coolest coolest feedback comes from the wives yeah women who were like in tears who show up to my office with their kids and their husbands they'll just randomly show up every week thank you yeah thank you for bringing him back this was the man i married it's very it's deeply emotional for me too because I'll be in the middle of events and like we just stop everything like come in hug the kids hug the wife and so it's fun to see the impact has been incredible completely transformed my life so on the money mondays we cover three core topics how to make money how to invest money how to give it away to charity these episodes are always under 40 minutes because the average workout is 45 minutes the average commute to work is 45 minutes so this episode will be between 35 and 38 minutes for your listening pleasure I also say that because we have a 93 percent listen through rate and we don't read ads and so it makes it a lot easier and smoother for you guys listening at home or if you're watching on youtube right now then obviously you get to see all the action you don't get to see the goats and camels but they are here they are behind us trust us you can check out wild jungle to watch that stuff for free okay so on the make money side what do you think is the limiting belief that keeps guys from making more money fucking liars so you look at the foundation of anything you're trying to create god created in truth you go to the book of genesis he was the only god is the only being that ever created from nothing you me everything all of us have all created from something you did something inspired me we saw some shit we wanted to improve it we saw a different angle there was always something to contrast against god creates from nothing verse three so verse two is wild to me because it was in darkness verse three in book of genesis chapter one god says let there be light and there was light to To me, light is truth.

5:03So the biggest issue I had in business in my first round of companies was I lied. Either directly by saying shit that wasn't true, in the banking world for sure, we were being told by the banks to literally a department in my entire brokerage was there just to change documents. We were young, dude, we were in our fucking 20s. We had no idea. And we would send it to underwriters and big banks would send it back to say, hey, we need it to say this. And I'm like, what do you mean we need it to say this? That's not true. We need it to say, but we didn't know. We all the people mentoring us were liars everyone.

5:33I knew in business liars either directly lying or they were not telling the truth So they would withhold truth so guys at the foundation struggle to make money now because the internet and AI is exposing fucking everyone Governments being exposed celebrities are being exposed Everyone's being exposed and pretty soon we're all gonna look the same and the only thing you'll be able to know is true Is by what you feel copies getting better everybody swiping the fuck out everybody the only way know is when Dan talks do I feel something which is why people trust you that's why I couldn't find I don't know one person who's talking shit about you not one except for the city here who wants to keep suing you seriously and why is that because there's a foundation of truth in you right when you pulled up to pick us up in the golf cart go around and feed animals this is how I'm feeling for I was like is this guy an integrity and it's not about having everything right it's about being willing to own all your shit yes that's why I post about lawsuits where everyone else is hiding I'm like this is what the surreal situation is and I also do it to protect so many entrepreneurs that are living on an island by themselves yes they're so scared like I can't talk about this they don't know who to say anything to but they're going through a lawsuit that could cripple them if they don't figure it out or understand if they should settle or fight it how much are legal fees like nobody talks about lawsuits why it's if you make listen to me very closely very closely if you make more than one million dollars gross sales you are going to get sued if you make more than five to ten million dollars in sales you're gonna get sued two to four times if you do more than ten million dollars sales you're gonna get sued every year for the rest of your life yes forever and it's okay i'm shit and it's okay the reason i'm 15 for 15 for lawsuits and i mentioned that in my post today is because of a couple things one i treat every text and email as if i might have to read it in court or a deposition that's good two i take out my emotions no matter i have emotions but i take out my emotions when people are cursing lying saying things i stick to the facts right like with the county today what did i do i posted a dozen pictures of the police yeah sheriffs canines letters from the police canines sheriffs here at the ranch how can i be at a violation when you guys literally here right so they don't agree with the county official let's just be clear and and three i treat everything as if i am gonna do my best effort yeah as long as i do my best effort not everything's going to work right but if i can showcase i did this you said you're gonna do this this didn't happen you didn't do this or this didn't happen why would i lose why would like and i'm not trying to sue you i've never actually sued anybody before even though we've both been screwed left and right by people over the years best friends best mans and what my wedding like a lot of people have screwed me for 500k on million dollars 800k etc i've told those stories too i've never sued them once how do you how do you when when did you decide to start doing that like that you would own full because what I call owning the whole keyboard right the social media has created such a game where everybody wants to own the highlights up top it's like when I read the bible I'm like hey cool we got the Instagram highlights where's the dark shit we see a few dark shit but there's a lot of dudes in there that's a lot of dark shit going on so when did you get to play full range of keyboards April 15th 2011 was what's called Black Friday online poker was shut down in America Dan Bilzerian called me at 10 10am where are you I was like I'm at the Bellagio where are you he's like why aren't you in malta i was living in malta at the time running a poker site worth 65 million dollars april 19th i'm getting in millions of dollars that day april 19th i rented out a resort in costa rica called the gaia resort trevor was flying out there with playboy playmates poker pros steve aoki all these guys everyone's flying in for this huge campaign for millions of dollars and april 15th it's online poker shut down in america here's why the truth came out my three biggest competitors all were now seized by the fbi i never got a letter i didn't do anything wrong luckily i didn't know in that moment did i do something wrong like is this illegal and come to find out i was meeting this billionaire at 12 o 'clock and he created the slot machine loyalty card okay and he also owned the licenses to wheel of fortune jeopardy all slot machines he's real rich right i flew back from malta to meet this guy i walk in to his this meeting and he's like man you look like somebody died i never met him before by the way he didn't say hi he said man you look like somebody died i said well my business did turn on the tv the whole industry died he calls steve wynn on speakerphone steve wins screaming bloody murder because 11 days prior he just announced this mega deal with my competitor who's now arrested and seized by the fbi right he didn't tell me that i was actually coming there to help train 10 sheriffs on how to play poker and blackjack for the next four hours so while i think i'm public enemy number one i gotta train the sheriffs on how to play poker and blackjack while my phone's going nuts because online poker shut down that moment changed my life forever because i went public with everyone here's my bank accounts i didn't do the merchant transaction coding what they were doing was poker stars would charge like ps3 then it would charge you for 500 bucks uh mattresses.biz then it would charge me for 400 bucks uh ps2 and so it was miscoding merchant transactions i just had victory poker at wells fargo i only had one bank account and i had kpmg accounting and so in that moment i decided i'm going to showcase to the world that i'm going to pay back all 41 000 real money players and i did it over the next four days so on april 19th instead of costa rica with playboy playmates poker pros and bilzarian and trevor I had manually paid everybody back and my mom's on the phone trying to get a refund from the resort in Costa Rica which we didn't get back it was$63 ,000 not that I'm bitter or anything and so in that moment on April 19th I now wake up on April 20th like well now what I can sit on the floor and cry about losing a$65 million company overnight or do what I did show to the world here's all 41 ,000 players I got manually paid back and I started consulting I started my charity I started throwing live events I started speaking I started a mastermind.

11:29I started all these things. I started investing in companies. I didn't want to have all my eggs in one basket. And all of a sudden I became who I am from that terrible moment. It all led me to this. And so I've just stayed. So I'm glad you asked me that. I've just stayed true to I'm going to show the bad stuff too. Yeah. Because the bad stuff is part of reality. Yeah. People die. Friends screw you over. Situations happen. You get sued. The vendor doesn't ship on time. Production doesn't happen. The retailer promised you to pay you and they don't pay you. the vendor owes you money for six months all those things are real life and so everyone just talks about oh yeah i got into nordstrom or i got into costco they don't talk about all the hard shit that happened before during and after and i've made it my mission in life to showcase all the bad all the behind the scenes because it's real life it's damn everything this is a piece everybody skips nobody hears this shit this is what made wake up where you blow up i did exactly what you did but i say you know what fuck it i'm just going to be true about everything and it was actually inspired by watching eight mile and watching m &m and his rap battle yep and he just fucking dumps all his shit on the table yep and he's like all right how about you tell these people exactly i did shoot myself for that i did i did grow up you did fuck my girl my mom is going off and i was like had this moment oh wait wait wait because i didn't have anything i'd lost everything so the only thing i had was truth right i was like fuck it here's what's going on i had an affair um i'm an i'm an addict i lost all my money i was a fucking horrible businessman man i don't know where the fuck i'm going i don't know what i'm doing this piece for me came though like it was like a almost like a prompt inside almost like a lean in a decade before everybody wanted to talk about being authentic which is what you did too yeah same time you leaned in did you feel something absolutely like what what was going on inside that had you bend that direction it allowed like the reaction i got when i was posting all the bad stuff was fascinating because they all wanted to talk about and they wouldn't publicly talk about it they still message me directly by the way to this day they still text me directly or ask me directly or can i call you real quick and they still won't comment about it yeah they still won't post about it they still won't repost about it the amount of text i got today from the lawsuit is crazy from a lot of our mutual friends big boys big girls like people with real names all texting me calling me message me but they're not commenting publicly no they still won't own their truth or even just be attached to something like a lawsuit it's okay the city sued me it's okay i'm gonna win 100 % of the time not 99 percent of the time by the way 100 percent of the time it's okay we can talk about it publicly and i am now even more adamant about it because now it puts them on the defensive 100 it does the truth always puts liars on defensive exactly this is like when the minute that you get like the foundation of truth puts the world on judgment yes they are now judging themselves and it's the same thing the same shit happens to me it was happening when i was talking about danielle in 2016 with danielle we're gonna get we were on the edge of divorce over sex I was completely public and transparent with all my student base.

14:18Hey, here's the deal. This might not work out But I am so ruthlessly committed to truth and proving this model of having it all That I'm gonna put it all on the table because when I walk into a room I want to know you have nothing on me, right? And the minute you have nothing on me Here's what I know about every motherfucker in the room all of you were hiding shit except for Dan and me You're fucking hiding shit. You know you are You wonder why it's just not working your shit's not work because you're a fucking liar The crazy part about being a liar is you cut yourself off from the power of God.

14:47When you cut yourself off the power of God, you have no voice inside of you to navigate shit like lawsuits. The post you did this morning, I thought I was caught by the images. I was like, dude, is everybody getting swarmed now? Because I was just talking to Wes. And I was like, is everybody just getting stormed? And then I kept trying to read it. I was like, oh, that was fucking brilliant. It was like, here's all my cards. It's like playing poker with your cards in the wrong direction. You're like, here's what my cards are, and I'm still going to fucking beat you. Here's all my cards. beat me you can't you're like wow I can read all your numbers yeah you can read all my numbers and I know you're hiding which means you have an energy behind you that is weakness this is this was the foundation of everything you built the times that I post about someone passing away the times that I post about breakups the times that I post about the things that happen in real life hands down far and away the most engagement ever publicly and privately because it's the things that we need to talk about because it's hard yeah and we don't know who to say hey i might get a divorce in 2016 and you know most people hide it until it's public or until it's rumors until it's gossip until they're dating someone else and like wait a minute who's that who's that girl who's that guy dinner you're like who are you with who's this uh you're not samantha i don't know who you are but okay is your wife no we put our phones away like what is the situation like i've watched it happen so often especially by the way fresh out of covid yes the amount of divorces especially from our mutual friends like yes it was crazy crazy 12 years 18 years 16 years 22 years like whoa whoa whoa yeah the amount of divorces that happened because they had to they were in a room together for a year or two and they and in here's the deal you put people in a room you put them in a long enough truth always comes out like people can only hide the truth it's like taking a grapefruit shoving up your ass and you're trying to walk around you're like you can do it for a while and you might even walk normal even if it's a big grapefruit you can like fake it for a little bit but at a certain point it gets uncomfortable and another point i got uncomfortable thinking about it i don't even know if it's physically possible to show a grapefruit i don't know i've seen some pretty ridiculous videos in places i shouldn't have been over the years so i think that this might be possible i don't know so go ahead we kind of derailed your show here no it's fine so normally we only talk about money but i like this because i think it's truly important and there's no one better to talk to about this situation because you've lived it for so many years and you've you've showcased it to me the butterfly effect is important when you help a man whether it's keep his marriage or by the way sometimes get out of their marriage sometimes that's it's the best decision to get out of the marriage sometimes a lot of people don't want to hear that no but sometimes you don't need to drag it out and you're taking someone's good years like i see someone that's 37 years old they've been together for six years and it's not working you're going to take them from 37 to 41 you're hurting yourself and that woman or man.

17:37Yes. Because you're taking the good years of trying to find someone else and you just drag down to the four years where you guys were in a sexless marriage or hated each other or cheating or frustrated or whatever. You know, again, more than I do about this. So much. It's taught so much about it. But I think it's mission critical for people that have these discussions because the butterfly effect is whether they stay together or break up. What then happens? Or you take someone that's doing a million a year and you get them to six. Think about how much more commerce happens because of you. You help them make money in their community.

18:07You help them hire 16 more people. That's like a form of charity to me. Big time. It's like tithing in a different way. That was the first time when I really started looking at that, the impact of hiring people, the impact of building companies, the impact of employing people, the impact of creating entrepreneurs to explode like you do and like I do. This is the only possible way to turn our country around. Regardless of who gets elected president, there's no possible way to turn this country around with an elected professional. It has to come from the streets. And I truly truly believe it's come from entrepreneurs and it's come from shows like you're doing empowering people to say hey listen God endowed you with dominion to create you're not here to be a fucking slave Retirements a fucking lie you were put here rest There's nowhere in a plan of God that there's retirement.

18:48This is all lies It's a big a lies the Federal Reserve is it's not federal. It's not a reserve. It's all bullshit Just fucking printing money So the foundation of making money for me comes back to this idea of truth because from truth You can actually establish a foundation that allows you to envision a bigger future that can be real if you live in fiction You're lying about your numbers. You're lying about what you want. No different marriage guys I said watch guys lie lie lie and I'll ask direct question. I'm gonna ask you a direct question my man. Are you attracted to your wife? What do you mean by that?

19:19Okay, you're not fucking stupid So let me repeat myself Does your penis want to go in her vagina like do you want to be with her are you attracted to her? No, and I'm the first person you admitted that to huh and guess what she's done that for a long time You think lying about other shit's gonna fix it Like if you actually tell the truth you got a chance you think keeping employees around that should have been gone two years ago, right? you think lying to your strategic partners about deals you don't want to be in and The lies don't stop so then you get caught and you get trapped like all the people I get calling me Showing up to my house that I won't say their names coming to my house me like how the fuck do i get out of this box i was like dude you created a prison for yourself because you intermingled truth with lies and created a brand that is not who you are yeah when i rebuilt everything i was like it just like you i was like i'm gonna build a brand that lets me be whatever i want to be i want to i want to have 200 animals yeah probably not because i'm gonna be down for it but we'll come visit yours all the time whatever you want whatever it is like i want to be able to do it because that's what i want to do the end make money's no different you can do whatever you want like people are so limited what they think is even possible because of all these lies the lies keep them away from the vision god's trying to speak through them and i believe god's trying to speak through all entrepreneurs right now like the pastors haven't pulled it off the churches haven't pulled it off the government's not pulling off schools aren't pulling it off the banking system's not pulling it off and whatever one world order whatever the that means there's this piece in us that's saying can you rise and part of rising is making money because if you're in poverty and you can't pay for how many entrepreneurs will get hit with the lawsuit you just got can't even fund it sure the fucking payroll to payroll to payroll because they continue to lie about where they are to me there's a couple things about truth one the truth is interesting yeah so when i tell you there's 1900 members there's 1900 members yeah i don't need to say there's 2200 or 2800 or 3200 the truth is interesting and also the second part i don't have to remember anything no so easy like when you lie especially when you lie to multiple of people you got to remember stuff and then as you mentioned earlier lies compound because now you got to cover up the lie with a different lie and you don't remember who you said it to and then when you pull that little thread your whole world can fall apart so i'm just really blunt if i say it's 140 ,000 a month to feed these things that's because it's 140 ,000 a month it's 9200 bucks a week for hay you know why i know i can show you my mx it's 9200 a week for hay i'm not saying it's a brag i don't like paying 9200 a week for hay i wish i had a hay sponsor By the way, if you're a hate company, feel free to swipe up.

21:44I say it because I don't have to remember anything. If Garrett asked me in six weeks from now or six months from now, it'll still be 9 ,200. I'll still know the exact number. I still know how many this, this, and this. And when things aren't good, I'll tell them too. Like, hey, this isn't working. Hey, I don't make money on this thing. Hey, I'm losing money on X, Y, Z. You know why? Because that's the reality of it. And I'm not shy about it. And I actually bring it up at events. And I say, if a bird pooped on me right now, I would wipe it off and keep talking to you guys. I wouldn't have any emotion to it.

22:10I wouldn't apologize. I wouldn't turn red. A bird pooped on me. And if this part happened, if the audio speaker fell and exploded, I would go get a fire extinguisher and I would be the first one to clean up. I would beat you guys. If that drink spilled, I would beat you to the floor to clean up in front of you. Whether I was talking to a billionaire or someone in the audience that paid 47 bucks, I will beat you to clean up that off the floor. I have no ego to this stuff. How do you maintain that truth? I live it and I show it. And Trevor can tell you, I do it at every event. At every single event, you will see me cleaning.

22:39I will stand next to multi-billionaire and something happens or something spills I want him to see it I'm almost hoping that a drink falls so the CEO of Disney or the CEO of TikTok or the CEO of this or that watches me rush to clean up that cranberry juice rush and then go right back to talking about a deal or this or that or social media campaign or whatever and not a flinch I won't mention it it just happens we've let people go from the team because they've come on to the team and they get they're in a position with events that we're running and they were like oh that's not my job and i'm like i walk by i'm like um excuse me the fucking bathroom's dirty our clients are here i don't give a fuck grab a lag rag get a sprayer let's go we're cleaning the bathroom absolutely we're not gonna sit here and wait 20 minutes they're on a break right now we're gonna clean this shit up who's gonna do it and they're like or they'll battle with each other over it because of the thing and then again it comes back to lies yeah there's a lie they're telling themselves about who they are and how special they are the special is who somebody who's willing to do whatever is required and who is willing to do it in truth my experience when truth is god is where god is transformation is possible this is why everyone you touch transforms yeah because god comes through you and what you're doing comes through me what i'm doing so then when you're around people that aren't i mean dude you're in a lot of events oh my god you you you have seen you've seen the happy clappy plastic posse i'm the yelp for the entrepreneur space exactly exactly Exactly, and that piece for me was what took me away from speaking and just building my own world because I was so tired of watching speakers get off the stage, talk shit about the people in the audience.

24:13So sick of watching people get off the stage, speak a thing, not be a thing. We get so many social influencers that come to our house, they're walking to my home and they're like... And I say, yeah, you know what? I live the life that you pretend you do on social media. I'm actually the thing. You pretend to be the thing. How do I do this? I was like, you realize that you're the one that's supposed to be teaching me everybody how to do this, but now you're asking me how to do this? I got like$100 ,000 on Instagram. I don't give a fuck. Why? Because the people that follow me, loyal. It's never been about big numbers, right?

24:44You have a way bigger network influence than I do, but the loyalty and the men that I lead, these men will show up on the fucking front line every single day right now. And that's the difference. I was never after being popular. People get into lies, and then they want to be popular. So how do you guide, you guide so many people on the branding side, this is not even what I do, how do you build a brand with being truthful but not getting hooked down like the prostitute path of popularity yeah so the biggest thing i tell people is the reason for building a personal brand is if you can then convert it into the thing that you care about it could be charity that could be sales that could be your product that could be your brand and it might not even something you know now sometimes building a personal brand is for later or for people in your circle you want to help your daughter sell girl scout cookies you want to help your grandma cure Alzheimer's you want to help your friend with the book launch like building personal brand is useful not just for you but for your world the difference is if you're doing for your own ego which is the next subject I want to ask you about because ego is the killer of most of the things that you're talking about and the relationship side of things but if you build your personal brand you have power yes and if you build personal brand and you showcase where people actually emotionally attached to you you can change the world yeah and so what I do is called building in public when i'm at an event i show you before the event during the event i show you social media stories after the event i do a wrap-up video so i did the all women's event yesterday yeah i saw a video in the morning i saw a video the day before i saw a video while i was there and today at five o 'clock we just see a wrap-up video it's called building in public i'm showcasing setting up shop now it happened here's what happened yeah and i do that in every part of my life hey i opened a sports card store car stores open hey i sold some stuff at the car store hey come by the car store yeah pop pop yeah and by showing it with a normal phone i'm not doing unicorns and fireworks and fancy videos all the time i'm showing just my real life there's no you know i do it in one take most of the time because i just want to show you the actual situation of what's happening there but by doing that by building your personal brand people become emotionally attached to you if they find commonalities or they feel like they know like or trust you yeah the way you build no like or trust is hey i'm with my family doing this hey i I go hiking on Wednesdays.

26:55Hey, I spend all my time with my dogs in the mornings. Hey, I love my employees and here's my employees. Hey, guess what? On Sundays, no matter what, I don't ever skip church. Wednesday night is always date night. Here I am with my wife. They know, like, and trust you because they feel a part of your world. But if you just show, here's my Lamborghini. Here's my Lamborghini. Hey, I got another Lamborghini. Hey, look at me. I'm flexing. Hey, look at me. I'm flexing again in the gym. I'm getting my Lamborghini flexing. You know, that's when my social media fell apart. like we had a huge run happening and i got all these young guys on like you need hard flex all this shit i was like what the fuck are we talking about flex what does this even mean they're like well you got to show your shit i was like what do you mean show my shit let's just show all your cars and stuff the minute we did this my target who will have these cars never came to me for that right there's no loyalty to that there's no loyalty to all this shit yeah there's only to what people feel and if that's where the focus is it can't feel much also there's a very big thing I talk about when you post a fancy car, which a lot of people do, especially in our category.

27:57If I post a fancy car and I just basically say, look at my car or I'm flexing in front of my car, you're going to get ripped to shreds in the comments. Yeah. But what if I post the exact same car and I'm facing this way and I say, I grew up and I had a 1992 Mazda protege that I bought for 800 bucks. I worked three jobs, saved up 800 bucks. I bought my 1992 Mazda protege. I've been working for the last 14 years doing this and this and this and this. I'm going to show you guys how I finally got my dream car. that engagement is going to go through the roof and now you're a hero when did you start wanting to show the path?

28:29because this has become this has been an obsession for my last 12 years show the path of progress when social media started getting going in 2008, 2009, and 2010 I was really then showcasing the building and public strategy hey I'm going to launch Victory Poker me and Dan Bozerian, Steve Aoki Playboy Playmates, we're going to do this thing hey guys we're here at this live event look at us, there was no live stream back then it was like youtube and myspace and like the twitter was coming like there's the facebook yeah and um and i just started showcasing and trevor was actually there with us was 15 16 years ago and we would just showcase the real life hey dan balzerian's upstairs in the penthouse he's eating upstairs hey guess what guys we're going to go with antonio and he's going to teach people how to play poker steve aoki is going to perform tonight we're going to show you this hey guys we're playing 25 50 and we're going to teach you guys how to play poker like we just showed our world and I call it building in public and it made people attached to us yes there's so many brands of poker sites there was 550 sites at the time there were so many brands of energy drinks when I did that company there's so many brands of acai bowl chains and sports card chains or masterminds there's so many different brands that people could choose I build an emotional attachment you when you when I show you behind the scenes of the aspire tour or the ever bowls or the cars and coffees all these different moving parts of my world you feel attached to it because I'm showcasing the actual behind the scenes of it.

29:49You're showing the whole keyboard. Yes. And like we as human beings, my experience is as men and women, there's a deep soul level desire to understand the path of progress. It's embedded in our souls. Like God built us in this way. We were never meant to be in the same place. We're meant to evolve, to expand, to become, to reveal more of who we are. So there's so few people who have the courage because the only way you'll be willing to show the whole path is if you're also willing to show the fuck up. you're also willing to show hey I fucked this up I fucked this up this did not go well that was when we shut down a whole line of one of our hair brands and I went to him and said hey listen what have I told you guys over and over and over again I said if it's not making money and you push to the limits what do you do?

30:32Shut it down so guess what? we're shutting it down and I gave him data and I said here's exactly what our money is here's exactly what the math has been and here's what we've done for two years and here's exactly what the teams did no matter what they say they're doing we have evidence and proof of what they were doing documented technology building companies outside of my company while employed by me full time and they launched the day after we fired them. Oh my God. So I'm showing up. Meanwhile, I'm like being cursed as the antichrist but what I told him, I said, hey listen, if you're going to do something let's do a collab with me because in the warrior world any shit you talk about actually helps me because everybody knows in my world, you're full of shit.

31:08All the shit you're saying is not true in my world. In your little world, it's true to you. It's not true in my world and it's not true to my people. so this piece that you're building and I'm building I will be straight with you I don't know too many people who have the balls like big pig out there yeah to actually do it so how do you keep doing it there's nothing that will embarrass me yeah the good stuff the bad stuff all of it's gonna happen yeah nothing will embarrass me because a couple of reasons one none of you are gonna be my funeral no no none of them right so i don't actually care that much to be blunt two i know that i'm trying my best at all times and my best won't always be good enough because there's some things that i'm striving for that are humongous right like elon musk is striving to get to mars whether he gets there or not he keeps saying it but if he falls and gets to the moon he's still pretty good in my book because he has four billion dollar companies at the same exact time so i'm trying my best in every effort And I'm also trying to up level my skills in every effort and rally the troops around me that are better than me at a certain category.

32:16Right. I don't try to say that I can do everything. And so because of these things, I have no emotion to the bad stuff at all. Not one iota of it. When bad stuff happens, I have literally no problem talking about it because it's part of reality. And I did my best. And I don't say I did my best as an excuse. No, I do say I did my best so that I know that listen if I was lazy and it was like hey Friday I'm gonna skip it Saturday didn't work Sunday didn't work and then Monday the company shut down That's that's on me in a big way But if I was working Friday Saturday and Sunday and then Monday came around it just wasn't working like you just talked about for two years Doesn't work.

32:55I have no emotion to it. Yeah, I had a company once We had 300 million views in our first year three million clicks Wow We were the fastest growing media site in the history of the freaking world. And then Facebook on December 14th changed one little thing in the algorithm over. Yep. And what did I do? I called all the investors. I called all my friends. I was like, you know what? I'm going to put up$550 ,000 to cover the overhead payroll to shut this thing down. But it's over. It was called the Facebook winter. BuzzFeed was screwed. Forbes was screwed. Inc was screwed. All the cool sites were screwed because they called instant articles.

33:32You'd watch it on Facebook inside of Facebook. It didn't click out anymore. Where I used to control Kim Kardashian, Floyd Mayweather, Bieber, everybody's pages. I was paying them all six figures a month for all the clicks. Gone. Not overnight. In a second. Just like the 10-10 a.m. call from Bilzerian about poker. In a second. Are you talking about that publicly? I did my best. I built the fastest growing media site in history. And then it didn't work anymore. That's the reality. And I'll sleep at night. Am I sad? it yeah i would like to have kept it going would i like to keep victory poker going of course i would i like to keep my energy going sure but when they end i am not emotional about it i did my part i did my best i did everything i could and when it doesn't work it doesn't work crazy part about what you're speaking about this is biblical shit if you go back to the beginning of genesis i love genesis god creates the world he creates everything creates man puts adam and eve on adam and eve fall trapped the lies and shame disappear from the presence of god because of their nakedness they eat of the fruit, whatever this was.

34:32And whatever it was they did caused them to feel guilt and shame. Guilt and shame had them distanced themselves from their truth and became embarrassed about the full keyboard. For whatever reason, they became ashamed. God comes looking and says, where are you at? Listen, man, I looked down, I realized I was fucking naked. So I hid myself in a bush. And he's like, why'd you do this? And he did what every guy does. It's her fault. Oh my gosh. She did it. From the beginning of time, men have been blaming women for their own guilt and shame. When you're not embarrassed, it's because you have no guilt and shame.

35:00about the whole keyboard. This is all I've been demonstrating. It's all you've been demonstrating. Hey, the ultimate power is to stand naked in your truth, unashamed, knowing that you did everything you could and everything you said you would. And if conditions change, the game changes. People are so fucking slow to pivot. It's not like, where do you invest? The most important investment in yourself with money is into you to be able to do what we're talking about. stand naked unashamed pivot there's a big ass garden you got a big ass ranch yeah okay so some of the ghosts don't want our carrots today let's go see if big hog with big balls wants some right maybe he'll take all the carrots he always wants some alright I'm gonna ask you a couple questions before we wrap up why should men and women invest into themselves to hire a coach or join a mastermind because you can never see your world from inside your box fully no matter how much ayahuasca you do no matter how much ketamine you do no matter how much you meditate, no matter how much you study, no matter how much you try, the game has been built by God so that you have a limited, even if you are deeply committed, limited perspective.

36:07So without somebody else who's not in your world looking in your world from masterminds or coaches, other people who have a vested interest in your growth and expansion, then you're fucked. You are limited to this box and so many entrepreneurs sit in this space and they won't see investing in themselves. They won't see investing in opportunities. I'll hear people who have invested in masterminds. Oh, it's a waste of money. How could it be a fucking waste of money? I've invested quarter million dollars in a massive mine. I needed one five-minute conversation It pivoted my entire software company, right?

36:34And I hung out for like four events and I was it the whole time was like it's coming I don't know where it's at but it's coming so if you don't invest in you Then you'll make bad investments in your business and you make bad investments in your family and you make bad investments in other assets If you don't start leveling you up everything the whole terrain changes now All you see is from this lens of scarcity and it's hilarious to me to watch dudes won't invest in themselves Or women that want to invest in themselves to grow who they are to grow in their connection with God grow in their connection with Themselves and then they try to do deals, right?

37:07Who's coming to the table but a liar and somebody who hides who expects the world to do what they will not do the worst is coaches Like the the coaching hand job circuit like it's like I have a hard time Coaches how to coach coaches coaching coaches who coach should make big money coaches cuz I'm a big money coach only I made money, big coaching, I'm like, what the fuck are you doing? Like, be in the game, pour into you. I tell my guys, I tell them, listen, you can't expect me, you can't expect somebody else to do with you what you're unwilling to do with the world. This is why you can expect much because you give much.

37:40This cycle opens up and the game moves. Investing in that cycle means also investing in other people. Putting time, energy, and money into other people. Growing other people. And it always comes back. Last question. why should the men out there that are listening right now involve philanthropy into their family households? One, it's biblical. Two, it's part of how the universe works. If you're unwilling to let go of your money, you become a whore for the money. And in this, you will start to create a scarce world. Even if you've got billions or you've got hundreds of millions. I got guys in my neighborhood, these dudes I walk and talk with, it's a good thing they made money the way they did and they can't fucking keep anything else together.

38:19Can't keep marriage number five. They can't keep any of their shit together. Their bodies are falling apart and they're like rich as fuck. Tons of money. They're not wealthy though. So this other piece of being able to put out has to have a bigger calling what you do in business. It's like you wanted to be known as the guy with the greatest legacy that ever lived in giving back. Right? And you're hell bent committed. I should say heaven bent committed to this bringing the kingdom through you to pull that off. This game brings it back. But it's not done with the desire to bring it back. It's done with the knowledge that that is how the universe works.

38:49if you are unwilling to give you constrict your ability to get so I give as fast as I possibly fucking can everywhere I carry cash all the time with my family make my kids walk up to families we go put people up in hotels we do things all the time so my kids I will make my children hand the money talk to these little kids sitting in front of the grocery store with their families don't speak English from like an Arabic country and I'm like sitting there I'm like we're gonna go help them and this took a while for Danielle to get with it because Danielle was kind of in a different space for a long time in our marriage and then with now, now she's leaned into it.

39:21So now it's become a purpose and it actually brings a bigger cause and purpose to the businesses that you're building. How can people check you out on social media? Any certain websites or anything that's going on in your world right now? Yeah, wakeupwarrior.com, easiest entry point or garrigaywhite.com, second easy entry point or if you want to see what I do that Dan does too which is follow my life around every day, you can follow him on Instagram at garrigaywhite. All right guys, you're listening to the one podcast episode of 86 Weeks where I didn't focus on the money part. This is just too special of an opportunity.

39:52I'm going to try to get Garrett to come back to a future podcast because that was intense. That's fantastic. It's one of those episodes you should definitely listen to more than once and forward to your friends that need to hear it. Not just want to hear it, that need to hear it. And oftentimes, it doesn't happen unless it comes from you. Meaning, you got to be the one to forward to them, tell them they should listen to it, and they'll know why once they do. too often we get nervous about actually taking our friends and telling them when they're messing up or telling them when things aren't working out telling them when they're slipping they're not working out or they're doing bad things or you're letting them slip you're not truly their friend and i'm sure gary can go deep into that about what happens in friendships where we don't tell the other person when they're truly messing up so check us out on the money mondays obviously it's important for us for you to like comment subscribe share this podcast especially this episode in particular with your friends family and followers because we all grew up thinking it's rude it's not talk about money, I believe that's rude if you don't talk about it because we've got a society that doesn't even know how to spell IRS.

40:51They don't know how to spell FICO. They don't know what to do. They don't have any idea what to do with bank accounts, savings, checking. Should I get a loan? Should I mortgage? Should I refi? Should I ask for more salary? They just don't know because we think it's rude to talk about it. But as you heard with the blunt discussion we had today with Mr. Garrett J. White, you have to have blunt discussions with your friends, family and followers and we will see you guys next monday on themoneymondays.com
